Getting to know each other at Kirkstall Abbey

Its a bit strange sharing photos from my new camera when I haven’t actually taken any photos with it since December… Winter + myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) are not the one my friends, so I’ve been hibernating as much as I can - I do however have plans for this camera with a week in London very soon (eep) Should I get another memory card?! Oh boy I havent had to worry about this before. How fun!

Anyway… one thing I did do when it wasnt as cold and I could brave the external air was take my new bestie camera to the local abbey for some experimenting and ‘getting to know you’ photos. If you’ve been hanging around a while, you’ve probably already seen photos of the Abbey on here - but theres always new thing to see right!

Overall I’m pleased with these for a first visit to the abbey - I tried to find new things to spot but I also think I ended up taking very similar shots to ones I’ve taken before, just to see what happened.

X-T30ii - Clumber Park Part iii

Back to Clumber Park again and an old reliabl theme once again caught my eye - proving it is indeed the photographer and not the camera taking the photos ha.

Its been a while since I looked at these photos (they were taken a few months ago now) and I’m still so relieved to see that I like them. Its been a slow winter for photos, but I can’t wait for the sun to start shining again so I can get out there and find more pink flowers.

X-T30ii - Clumber Park Part I

We visited Clumber Park for the first time in the Autumn and once again I got to take my new camera out for some fun. The light was glorious and there were so many gorgeous colours around too! I went with the Kodak Ektar 100 film recipe from Fuji Weekly for these photos as I love how warm that film is and I feel like the recipe replicates the film tones really well.

A positive of digital is that you can take more than 36 photos in one go without having to worry about the cost or effort of developing more rolls of film - and until this week of taking photos I didn’t realise those two things were holding me back from taking as many photos as I could. So this is Clumber Park - part one of a few I imagine.
